Civolution, a provider of technology and solutions for identifying, managing and monetizing media content, has announced that its SyncNow ACR technology has been incorporated into ConnecTV, a free, real-time social network built for TV viewers, with demonstrations at CES.“The timely and accurate identification of TV content - whether live or time-shifted - is complex and our key competitive advantage,” said ConnecTV co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Alan Moskowitz.
“Our team has spent the last several years relentlessly innovating the technology engine that drives ConnecTV’s second-screen experience. Civolution’s ease of integration and proven track record in fingerprinting technologies make them the clear integration partner to bring our platform to life.”
ConnecTV’s second screen global social TV platform uses Civolution’s audio fingerprinting solution to enable consumers to automatically sync with their favorite TV programs and companion content. Civolution’s technology has been integrated with ConnecTV’s own proprietary content recognition algorithms to provide relevant and accurate synchronization to TV programs, allowing networks and content providers to deliver second-screen services without the need for additional production resources.
“Having been at the forefront of content watermarking and fingerprinting for many years, we continue to be inspired by innovative new applications of our technologies,” added Civolution CEO Alex Terpstra.
